Chapter 1078: Two Men Vying For A Lady (10)
Thinking back on those years, Li Shu and Mo Zhi’s father were childhood sweethearts. Everyone had thought they were the perfect couple.
But unexpectedly, the man later had an affair.
Li Shu had wanted a divorce at that time, but Mo Zhi’s father wouldn’t hear of it.
Their political marriage was a significant tie between their families and, after the marriage, they had so much estate in common that a clean break had become impossible.
Hence all of these years, Li Shu had had to keep up appearances with the man.
Although they lived as a family, they kept separate villas.
Li Shu was an author, so she traveled yearly to gather sources of inspiration.
And Mo Zhi’s father would be quietly waiting for her return from these trips.
When Si Jingyu thought of this, she sighed.
Looking at the table, she said, “Let’s not talk about this. Our meeting today is about the kids.”
At these words, everyone looked towards the two youngsters.
Shi Nianyao’s makeup was a tragic sight, but unfortunately she seemed to lack self-awareness and continued to make eyes at Mo Zhi.
When the dishes arrived, she used her chopsticks to rudely pick up a load of food.
Mo Zhi grimaced at her behaviour.
He could not endure the attention that she was putting him through.
But because his father shot him looks of warning ever so often, he knew he had to take it in his stride today.
Although he had decided that this girl was definitely not the one for him, he had to see the lunch event through.
So he would tolerate it. At worst, he could just cast his gaze elsewhere.
Now, she looked as though she hadn’t eaten for ages. She ate whatever was served. Her uncouth mannerisms were absolutely…
Mo Zhi shook his head and discreetly inched his chair a fraction away from her.
Just at this point, the waitress served up a chilly okatter.
Shi Nianyao immediately picked up some of these with her chopsticks. Turning towards Mo Zhi, she said, “Big Brother Mo Zhi, you like chillies, don’t you? Come now, open your mouth, ahhhh.”
After saying this, she held the chillies towards Mo Zhi.
At once, Mo Zhi waved his hand in disgust and reached out to push her arm away.
He had reached his limit of tolerance.
“Go away! Of all the things, I hate chillies—”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Shi Nianyao jump in fright. The chillies that she had picked up for him suddenly flew across and landed on his face.
At once, the spicy chilli oil entered his eyes.
He squeezed his eyes shut from the hot stinging sensation, unable to reopen them again.
Mo Zhi was livid.
He had never been a patient person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been this careless and hot-tempered to make the board members be so negative about him.
Besides, since a young age, he had always gotten what he wanted and had never been aggrieved.
But as though she knew how angry he must be feeling right now, Shi Nianyao immediately took a step towards him and said, “Big Brother Mo Zhi, are you ok?”
Of course, deep down in her heart, she was gleeful.
This is your pay-back now for harassing me last time!
The parents on both sides were now greatly concerned and stood up at once.
Li Shu even started to walk towards Mo Zhi. As she instructed the waitress to get some water, Mo Zhi jumped up and down in fury. He extended his hand and pushed the people in front of him out of the way. He hollered, “Get lost! You ugly monster! I’ve got enough! Tell me, did you do this on purpose? Huh? Who is your Big Brother Mo Zhi? I’m not going to marry you, I’m telling you. Stay away from me!”
